Over the years there have been some very fine eateries in Maclay Street, Potts Point. You could slip out of the sleaze of Kings Cross walking down Darlinghurst Road to arrive in the style of Potts Point, eat something delicious and then wind your way back to one of the many late night dens for…

Promenade is the newest restaurant in Bondi and the premium tennant in the newly renovated Bondi Pavilion which is right on the foreshore at Bondi Beach in Sydney.

MAGIC
Restaurant Hubert is very hard to position, when you describe it to people who have never visited before it is a bit like describing time travel. Imagine opening an unassuming door under a city office tower, descending down a flight of stairs with rich wood panelling and oddly miniature spirit bottles in…
When people refer to a restaurant as being an institution, they are talking about a place that has been around for 10+ years, but with Beppi's it really is an institution and has been operating out of the same location for approaching 70 years. Started in 1956 by Beppi Polese who with his wife…
Down a flight of stairs, past a coffee and focaccia bar, and barber shop there are a few high chairs lined up outside a mysterious door. I walked past this door not really noticing for nearly two years, until this week I ventured inside and was immediately transported to back to Japan. …
Finding Alberto's takes a little confidence, down a back alley, a lane off another lane, in what was once a very seedy part corner of city where the Sydney CBD meets Surry Hills. When you arrive the sign is simple ALBERTO LOUNGE, it doesn't really look like a restaurant. For those who recognise…

Origin of Flite
The founder of Flite is former kite-surfing world record holder David Trewern, was at a kitefoiling event in 2016 when he had the thought: ‘What if I didn’t have to wait for the wind. What if I could just attach an electric motor to my foil?’
In the workshop he sketched out his designs and ideas, built prototypes until he found the right mix, now Flite boards are all over the world and has created its own new category of water sport.
Trewern claims about that first ride ‘It was magical. The feeling of freedom was like nothing else.’ And that has translated to global success with more than 330 authorised partners selling boards, Fliteschools across the world, and offices in three countries: Australia, The Netherlands and The United States.
Fliteboards come in five different models that best suit the riders experience with the boards available in fibreglass and carbon fibre and a modular and upgradable range of customisation that starts at $15,495 AUD up to $20,995 for the Ultra L designed to be ultra light and highly responsive in varied surf conditions.
